Does Vimovo Cause Pain In The Wrists?

I know I have carpal tunnel in one hand and had surgery on the other. My orthopedist has me on Vimovo 500mg. I am having very bad wrist pain in both wrists. Pain turning the steering wheel, can t lift much or turn my wrists to either side. Sometimes hurts just doing nothing. I tried to see if it was a side effect to the Vimovo.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It is not related to vimovo.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
